Buyer FAQ

Common questions about working with Today's Homes when you buy a home.

Does it cost anything to use Today's Homes as a buyer's agent?

Buyer-broker compensation is negotiated as part of the transaction. In many cases the seller or listing broker has offered compensation, but that is not guaranteed. We will explain how we are paid before you start touring homes, and you will see it in writing.

Will I get a better deal if I don't use a buyer's agent?

Not likely. If you use the listing agent as your only representative, that can create a dual-agency situation and a potential conflict of interest. A buyer's agent helps with paperwork, inspections, negotiations, and getting you to closing. There are costly mistakes that are easier to make without one.

Do I have to be exclusive to a buyer's agent?

If an agent starts showing you houses, researching listings, and communicating with listing brokers, they will usually ask you to work with them exclusively for a period of time. That agreement is also typically needed to submit offers. If you don't like how the relationship is working, tell us and we will try to fix it or release you from the agreement.
